I decided to start documenting the people I meet wearing Converse and their connection to the brand. Quite simply why they wear them. Some have deep meaningful quotes. Others don't have much to say, but they all have an individual story.

All photography shot by Stanley Lumax unless otherwise noted.

When I was 14, my dad brought a pair of used Chucks home. The pair I am wearing are the same color. Ever since then, I have liked Converse.

I wear Converse because the comfort and style is me. I wear Chucks because they are classic and original. I’ll toss on  Chucks with a tux or jeans. With my Jack Purcell (Ozzy Osbourne Straight Jackets) I can get a little more edgy. No matter what I can find a pair of Converse for every outfit.

I’M NOT A FOLLOWER! I like to stand out and be out of the box. I got my first pair in the 6th grade. I have 5 total.

My favorite pair of Converse are these customized Chucks that I personalized with my last name which is Cronk, and you can’t get a much better name than that. These are Cronk Stars, not All Stars.

My wife made these on Converse.com.  I had a joke that nothing was better than a pet dog. When I got married my wife said she tops a dog.
